You Have To Watch Them Scan Your Items, Every Single One When Shopping At Walmart…

@PhoenixPhail Parents who are distracted by their baby or other children probably overlook it. When I worked at a Walmart 10 years ago I noticed that there were some older men who would get their stuffed checked out and then stand at the end of the checkout and go down their receipt item by item checking to make sure they got charged the correct price before they would leave the store. When you are retired you are on a fixed income and that money means even more.

@cherokeepatti I think they're smart to do that. I'm retired and on a fixed income, myself, and can't afford to be overcharged for [i]anything.[/i] I always check to make sure.

@PhoenixPhail yeah. I had it added up in my head and estimated the sales tax too. So when the cash register hit over $30 I spoke up about it. Then she did something and it went to $38. Ended up the correct amount was less than $22.50.

@cherokeepatti It's so good that you checked. 😃

@PhoenixPhail I read something a couple weeks ago that people are getting charged for items at Walmart that they didn’t even purchase. It pops up on their receipts and if they are in a hurry and have quite a few items and pay with a credit card they might not even notice. It does this mostly at self checks. A woman who had read an article about it got charged over $20 for something and the name of the item didn’t show up on the receipt. She looked and counted the stuff in her bag and had been charged for this. She went straight to the Service Dept and they refunded her.

@cherokeepatti It doesn't surprise me. I'm glad she got her money back.
Kudos to her for checking.

@PhoenixPhail Walmart sales are down, maybe they had some program this in making it look like an anomaly. About 20 something years ago there was an expose on corporate store overcharging on sales items that had been advertised. And they would use hidden cameras and send people back later after it was caught the first time to purchase the exact same thing in other stores and all were overcharged. Sometimes it would be gift items or whatever was popular at the time.

@cherokeepatti Nothing would surprise me. There's so much questionable activity in the corporate world.

@PhoenixPhail I find Asda is particularly bad for over-charging at the till. But when, recently, a tin of tuna priced 59p on the shelf came up as 55p at the till I said nothing.........😉😆

@Fluffybull Walmarts line of products may be short on product. One thing was the boxes of pasta. Weighed them with a food scale and they came up short. The next time I went to the store I got a box and weighed it on their produce scales and it came up short on weight. I think they are trying to nickel and dime consumers any way they can get by with. They raised the price of a 5-dozen box of eggs by $12 in November just in time for holiday baking. I bought at 5 dozen box of eggs for $12.49 at Winco store yesterday. Pays to shops around and compare prices.

@cherokeepatti Oh, we go to several supermarkets, I don't know how some people get everything they need at just one. We shop at Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons and Farmfoods 😆👌

@Fluffybull I am not going so far to say I am boycotting Walmart but if I have better options for most things I will not buy them at Walmart. They are damned greedy. I am going there less often as it is. Went one day last week and found 3 shirts on clearance and got overcharged and stood at the cash registered till it was fixed. I already had the amount in my mind what the total would be. Seemed like it took 10 minutes to straighten it out.
